“Giants WR Malik Nabers had his ACL surgery today. On the road to recovery,” reported Art Stapleton of USA Today on X, formerly Twitter.

University of Tennessee baseball coach Tony Vitello is set to become the new manager for the Giants, the school confirmed Wednesday.

The Giants lost 38-20 to the Eagles and star rookie Cam Skattebo to injury. Skattebo suffered a dislocated ankle. Tyrone Tracey Jr. is expected to become the primary running back during Skattebo's absence.

Malik Nabers had surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ACL in his right knee, the New York Giants said, adding that their top receiver will begin his rehabilitation process upon his discharge from the hospital on Wednesday.

The Giants have done a poor job allowing runners to escape to the outside. They’re last in the NFL in opponent yards per carry to the left end (9.24), left tackle (7.19) and the right end (9.88). They’ve done a poor job of setting the edges and running backs are eating like it's a buffet line — get what you want and keep coming back for more.

If he wins and has staying power, Vitello could be one of the game’s colorful personalities. Think Billy Martin crossed with Yogi Berra.

Gilbert describes the 47-year-old Vitello as a "chameleon" capable of talking to anybody and maintaining strong relationships up and down the roster. President of baseball operations Buster Posey is counting on that, and there's little doubt that Vitello's interpersonal skills played a strong part in the decision to hire him.
